<p>This book analyzes the recent development paths pursued by progressive</p><p>governments in Argentina and Brazil, namely deindustrialization and</p><p>reprimarization, and the social and environmental consequences thereof. A key</p><p>part of understanding the trajectories in both Argentina and Brazil has been the</p><p>role played by international institutions, especially the IMF and WTO, and also,</p><p>the ever-growing hegemony of transnational corporations in the global economy</p><p>and as a result, significantly limiting the possibilities of genuine development for</p><p>local populations.</p><p> </p>Two major issues which extend beyond Latin America are: the expansion of<p></p><p>genetically modified crops and agrotoxics and the concern for global food security</p><p>and sovereignty; second, how reprimarization, associated with mining, cattle, soy</p><p>and petroleum, has been key in leading to the risk of desertification in the</p><p>Argentine pampas and also causing deforestation in the Amazon Rain forest,</p><p>described as the lungs of the planet, and thus has major implications for climate</p><p>change for the planet as a whole.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, this book engages with a number of theoretical issues: development</p><p>and dependency in the periphery: neoliberal globalization, accumulation by</p>dispossession, ecological and environmental debates and the role of extractivism<p></p><p>and rent. This book is aimed for both academics, activists and those politically</p><p>motivated to analyze, understand and push for social change from a critical</p><p>perspective, and also, those interested in a radical analysis of paths of</p><p>development, dependency and socioenvironmental issues in Latin America</p><p> </p><p>today.</p><p></p>

<p>This book analyzes the recent development paths pursued by progressive governments in Argentina and Brazil, namely deindustrialization and reprimarization, and the social and environmental consequences thereof. Two major issues which extend beyond Latin America are: the expansion of genetically modified crops and agrotoxics and the concern for global food security and sovereignty; second, how reprimarization, associated with mining, oil, soy and cattle, has been key in leading to the risk of desertification in the Argentine pampas and also causing deforestation in the Amazon Rain forest, described as the lungs of the planet, and thus has major implications for climate change for the planet as a whole. </p>
<p>A key part of understanding the trajectories in both Argentina and Brazil has been the role played by international institutions, especially the IMF and WTO, and also the ever-growing hegemony of transnational corporations in the global economy and significantly limiting the possibilities of genuine development for local populations. This book also engages with a number of theoretical issues: development and dependency in the periphery: neoliberal globalization, accumulation by dispossession, ecological and environmental debates and the role of extractivism and rent.</p>

Looks back historically at the processes of Import Substitution Industrialization (ISI) from the 1930s to the 1970s and then followed by the rise of neoliberalism Examines the specific experiences of transitioning to neoliberal trajectories, in the case of Argentina and Brazil Engages in theoretical debate as well as looking at social and environmental issues and concrete phenomena and struggles related to actual development strategies
<p>“This book offers an illuminating, comprehensive and original account of the accumulation strategies and economic trajectories of Argentina and Brazil. The troubles and tribulations of industrialisation and deindustrialisation in these countries are examined in great detail, across a historical arch spanning several decades, and in the context of the changes in the world economy. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the political economy of Argentina and Brazil.” (-- Alfredo Saad-Filho, King’s College London)</p>

<p>This book is a summation of Paul Cooney’s last decade or so of work, explaining why the two most industrialised economies of South America are losing their core internally-oriented manufacturing potential, in favour of the export-oriented and extractivist circuits of capital (albeit with the latter suffering crises at the end of the global commodity super-cycle). The work is the most sophisticated about these two countries that I know of, and in the book, Cooney seeks to more formally introduce the ‘reprimarization’ concept. To do so, Cooney provides an excellent historical trajectory of these countries, focusing on both world economic dynamics and local class-forming processes. As well as anyone, he understands the dynamics within the main sectors: soy, cattle, mining, fossil fuels, and biofuels. He is particularly committed to a critique of the ‘New Developmentalism’ thesis of former Finance Minister Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira, a critique with which I fully agree. He also utilizes Marxist political economy very fruitfully, particularly by employing David Harvey’s concepts of rent and dispossession.
